TGS Commences Multi-Client 2D Survey in Chukchi Sea

TGS has commenced acquisition of 2D data in the Chukchi Sea off the northwest coat of Alaska, reads a note released on Monday. 

“TGS is very pleased to be back in the Chukchi Sea,” said Rod Starr, Senior Vice President Western Hemisphere for TGS, referring to two surveys acquired in 2006 and 2008.

The Chukchi Sea 2D 2013 survey, supported by industry funding, maps out a section of the Chukchi Sea covering approximately 8,000 km. The data will be available in the second quarter of 2014.

“This project was implemented following productive cooperation with local, state and federal agencies as well as local community stakeholders. The data will provide critical subsurface information for the scheduled BOEMRE lease rounds beginning in 2016,” said Starr of the Oslo-listed firm.
